I Lifted my jeep a couple months ago and was reading up on how it is recommended that you upgrade your steering stabilizer. I feel its time to anyways because I think mines shot.. I was looking at new ones and I found a rancho one that looks really nice, I just don't wanna blow 60 bucks on one. Then I found a rubicon express one for 35. Are rubicon express stabilizers good for on and off road use? Worth it? Or any other brands that are good. As look at RC but not so sure on them anymore..

Steering stabilizers are bandaids anyway.
The $19 OEM stabilizer is going to be just as good as a 200 dollar blinged out stabilizer.
If you must have one just go back with OEM and put a sticker on it.

Whenever i upgraded my steering, the steering stabilizer didn't go back on. If everything in your front end is good to go, it isn't needed.

Spend the money on the parts that actually need replaced. Run without the stabilizer. Then it will be easier to pin point other parts that might need replaced in the future instead of chasing your tail.
